Tupelo Goldens

Tupelo Goldens breeds golden retrievers in Tupelo, MS, Lee County in northeastern Mississippi near Memphis. Rick Dahl has been part of the American Kennel Club’s breeder community for over a decade and conducts health screenings on hips, elbows and eyes before pairing dogs.

Puppies are raised inside a family home where they interact daily with children, adults and other pets, fostering confidence and social skills. They enjoy supervised play in secure outdoor runs adjacent to a climate-controlled kennel, and each puppy learns basic commands, crate manners and gentle handling. Feeding follows a nutrition plan tailored to growing golden retrievers, and early health checks by a local veterinarian ensure smooth transitions. Many dogs from this kennel become beloved companions, with some going on to therapy work in schools and care facilities, thanks to their steady temperaments. A multi-generational farm environment and ongoing support from Rick Dahl help families feel prepared for a smooth transition when welcoming a puppy.
